Did someone in the UK buy out YouTube or Google? Did they move all their servers over there to save money? (I know the American dollar is not particularly strong right now...) Is it just me or my laptop, or is this happening to all of you? I went to plain old http://youtube.com and even that is now the UK version. Invasion of the URL snatchers?

It's late and I need to go to sleep or I'd do some searching. Maybe I'm just too tired. Of course, if I sleep there may be a YouTube pod left in my home...

Have no fear. All is well. YouTube allows you to select a site such as UK, France, Japan etc. with a drop down menu at the far top right of the page. You must have selected UK at some point (due to lack of sleep?) and it has remained there. I believe selecting "global" will pt you back where you once were.
